Redundancy: Lack of consultation made redundancy selection unfair

This report relates to 1 case(s)

In King and others v Eaton Ltd [1996] IRLR 199,
the Court of Session restores an industrial tribunal's decision that an
employer unfairly dismissed four employees because it failed to show that its
method of selecting them for redundancy was fair or applied reasonably. Because
there was no consultation worthy of the name with any of the employees, it
became all the more important that there should have been fair and proper
consultation with their representatives.
